IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA GARY MILLS, Appellant, v. NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED CASE NO. 1D16-2293 FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Appellee. ___________________________/ Opinion filed November 21, 2016. An appeal from an order of the Leon County Circuit Court. James C. Hankinson, Judge. Gary Mills, pro se, Appellant. Kenneth S. Steely, General Counsel, and Barbara Debelius, Assistant General Counsel, Florida Department of Corrections, Tallahassee, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. Because we find that the Appellant has sufficiently alleged that “collateral legal consequences that affect the rights of a party flow from the issue to be determined,” Godwin v. State, 593 So. 2d 211, 212 (Fla. 1992) (citing Keezel v. State, 358 So. 2d 247 (Fla. 4th DCA 1978)), we vacate the circuit court’s order dismissing the petition for writ of mandamus as moot, and we remand this matter for a determination on the merits of the petition. This opinion shall not be construed as passing upon the merits of the underlying petition. ORDER VACATED; REMANDED. WOLF, BILBREY, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., CONCUR. 2
